Resident dental experts. Over the night on Saturday I must have been grinding my teeth as I woke up to a throbbing pain in my back molar. It is setoff more due to biting on the tooth (other directions don't hurt). It has seemingly gotten worse and the earliest my dentist could see me is Wednesday. They dentist office is closed on Mondays so my request for a prescription for pain has not been heard yet.

I was told that Ibuprofen is the best for tooth pain, but this is agonizing. Is there a specific dosage that I can take? I was told that 12 in 24 hours was the max but it doesnt take more than 4 hours before it starts throbbing again. What should I be asking the doc for to get me through the next 32 hours?

Had a bad tooth where the only thing that helped was drinking and swishing cool water. Went through 3 cases a day until my root canal. I would get up to piss, and just stay in the bathroom because I knew I’d piss again in 2-3 mins. Probably did wonders for my kidneys.

A liver and kidney healthy adult can have 3200 mg, or 16 ibuprofen tablets in 24 hours.

ETA pain upon biting is a hallmark sign of a crown fracture. It’s peobably deep enough into the tooth that the nerve is now angry and firing off at spontaneous times.

ETA2 I am a dentist FWIW

Went through a bad tooth a few months back. The old school brown listerine would help immediately. Swish it and hold it on the side of the bad tooth as long as possible. Pretty much instant relief. I would follow up with 2 Stanback or Goody powders. Best regimen I could find until the dentist could see me.

I’ve gotten RXs for ibuprofen 600 and 800 mg from docs. Dentist gives 800. That’s 4 over the counter 200mg tablets.

You'll have a cracked tooth/abscess. I foresee a root canal, crown, opioids, sleep in your future. That will be $350 dollars.

Crush an aspirin and cover that tooth and surrounding gum in it.

Tylenol makes an Arthritis level pill at 650mg a pill. This stuff saved me when I had a broken tooth, and also a herniated disc in my neck.

If u pour a BC powder on the tooth and let it melt over the tooth that really helps. Also switch back in forth between ice and a heat pad. This helps release the gases in the tooth pocket which is the cause of most of the pain.

Cocaine eh?

I got an abscess in my tooth at just about the worst time you could think of, rifle range at boot camp. Wasn’t fun, hurt like shite, could barely open my mouth to scream, could barely eat.

I didn’t get it looked at until after boot camp because the pain went away for some reason after a couple days and I didn’t want to get dropped back to another platoon, I toughed it out. Wouldn’t recommend it.

You can take 800mg of ibuprofen for the first 24 hours then switch to every 6 hours until you get it taken care of.

The key is orally taking it every 4 hours, including waking up at night and taking it religiously.

I hope you feel better.

If it's awful, you can go to urgent care but there's not a whole lot they can do.

You can't get pain pills due to all of the drug addicts who ruined it for us folks who actually need them.

Thanks Junkies

Clove oil can be an effective (and relatively inexpensive) topical anesthetic for tooth pain.

LINK /

You can get it at most any pharmacy without a prescription.

Good luck, tooth pain sucks moose crank.

Eugenol. Red Cross toothache stuff. Available at drugstores. It’s oil of clove. Been around forever. Sorry about your pain.
